Condition/Concern
Some customers or dealer personnel may comment that the inside hood release cable is not functioning and they are unable to open the hood.
Recommendation/Instructions
Use the following steps to create a emergency hood release tool.
1. Obtain a #2 Phillips head screwdriver approximately 320 mm (22 in) in length (1).
Note: The tool is easiest to make with an inexpensive non hardened screwdriver. It may be necessary to heat the screwdriver with a torch in order to create the bend shown in the procedure.

2. Measure and mark the screwdriver 63 mm (2.5 in) from the tip as shown.
3. Clamp the screwdriver in a vise and create a 90° bend as shown.
4. Install masking tape on the tool as shown. Place the tape approximately 130 mm (5.2 in) from the 90° bend. The tape on the release tool
helps indicate the insertion depth and protects the paint finish on the edge of the hood.
Using the tool created above, release the hood latch as follows:
